Ghanian side, Ampem Darkoa have emerged champions of the third edition of the Wafu B Champions League in Benin which came at the expense of Nigerian side, Delta Queens.
A 43rd minute strike from Ophelia Amponsah stole the regional showpiece qualifiers sole ticket to the CAF Champions League in Ivory Coast.
Delta Queens dominated proceedings from the blast of the referee whistle but couldn’t convert their chances in the game.
The Pearls defense stood tall to pocket the tournament’s highest goal scorer Mary Amponsah.
A costly mistake from the Delta Queens goalkeeper provided Amponsah the opportunity to blast home the lead in the 43rd minute.
The introduction of Mercy Omokwo in the second half for Folajomi Olabiyi brightened the attack of Delta Queens and gave more creativity going forward.
The removal of Taiwo Afolabi for Esther Inyang failed to lighten the middle of the pack for the Pearls in a game they had total control of.
Omokwo was at the center of the attacking threat of Delta Queens but couldn’t find a way past the resolute Ampem Darkoa side.
The Ghanaian side emerged champions of the regional showpiece qualifiers for the first time in their history and became the second Ghana team after Hasaacas Ladies to achieve the memorable feat.
